Event Details

Our selection of local cooking classes are based on a variety of recipes rooted in ancient tradition and some of the finest natural produce in Italy with the the accent always on genuine flavours. Events often include seasonal ventures into food foraging, truffle hunting, cheese or wine making or oil pressing according to the time of year.

We have cellar wine tastings of Montefalco's award winning Sagrantino wines. The Sagrantino dry red won Italy's award for the best wine of 1998. This unusual grape grows only between Medieval Montefalco and the ancient Roman town of Bevagna. Its production in local monasteries can be traced back to the early middle ages, and a sweet version produced from Sagrantino raisins was the favourite of the Vatican for the holy wine of their mass.

Living Italy

Living Italy has grown out of our total immersion in the life and culture of Italy. Having moved to Umbria in 1988 we restored an ancient tower from which we created and raised a family of three children and in the meantime developed the tour company in many ways as a community project.

The accommodationswe choose reflect their context in place, ambience and design, and represent rather than conquer the region.

Our itineraries reflect our close connection to the area, its history, culinary traditions and its art, with the local people always central to the experience. We embrace local culture and enthusiastically explore all aspects of authentic cultural heritage.
